When seas and skies become the same
When the hangman calls your name
Awaits in depths of your mind in dread
That darkly voice he's in your head
Creeping
Seething
Like chilling winter's veil
Crawling
Dragging
Your ever-present pain
In mournful dens of stormy rage
Drowning hearts desire back their cage
The burdens of loss never leave
Suffocating walls
Caving in they crush your faith
Doubts
A forest lies within the room
In it hopes expire
A forest of thick agony
And grief
All it takes
A single slice
Like thin cut lips
Bleed
Leaking out
A tree of growth
Tired veins scream
The end
Memories rain down
Like old friends from yore
You're still alone though
A trapped hollow soul
Shadows outside
All around us
Yet they're darker
On the inside
Life is just a small
Anomaly
Within fabrics of death
Ravaged deity
Shadows outside
All around us
Yet they're darker
On the inside
To what purpose do they serve
The blackness in thy self
Those who are gone don't wait for you
All damned
Seeking meaning everywhere
In cold meaningless world
Cut the knot and join the dead
Far away
Shadows outside
Calmly swallow
Unearthly slumber
Those of sorrow
When temples burn under his reign
Voices ceased swift as they came
When the hangman calls your name
Awaits in depths of your mind in dread
That darkly voice he's in your head
Creeping
Seething
Like chilling winter's veil
Crawling
Dragging
Your ever-present pain
In mournful dens of stormy rage
Drowning hearts desire back their cage
The burdens of loss never leave
Suffocating walls
Caving in they crush your faith
Doubts
A forest lies within the room
In it hopes expire
A forest of thick agony
And grief
All it takes
A single slice
Like thin cut lips
Bleed
Leaking out
A tree of growth
Tired veins scream
The end
Memories rain down
Like old friends from yore
You're still alone though
A trapped hollow soul
Shadows outside
All around us
Yet they're darker
On the inside
Life is just a small
Anomaly
Within fabrics of death
Ravaged deity
Shadows outside
All around us
Yet they're darker
On the inside

Voices ceased swift as they came
